A first step could be to add a custom tab on the groups pages. This works for that:
function setup_group_nav(){
global $bp;
/* Add some group subnav items */
$user_access = false;
$group_link = '';
if( bp_is_active('groups') && !empty($bp->groups->current_group) ){
$group_link = $bp->root_domain . '/' . bp_get_groups_root_slug() . '/' . $bp->groups->current_group->slug . '/';
$user_access = $bp->groups->current_group->user_has_access;
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
'name' => __( 'Custom', 'custom'),
'slug' => 'custom',
'parent_url' => $group_link,
'parent_slug' => $bp->groups->current_group->slug,
'screen_function' => 'bp_group_custom',
'position' => 50,
'user_has_access' => $user_access,
'item_css_id' => 'custom'
));
}
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'setup_group_nav' );
function bp_group_custom() {
add_action('bp_template_title', 'my_new_group_show_screen_title');
add_action('bp_template_content', 'my_new_group_show_screen_content');
$templates = array('groups/single/plugins.php', 'plugin-template.php');
if (strstr(locate_template($templates), 'groups/single/plugins.php')) {
bp_core_load_template(apply_filters('bp_core_template_plugin', 'groups/single/plugins'));
} else {
bp_core_load_template(apply_filters('bp_core_template_plugin', 'plugin-template'));
}
}
function my_new_group_show_screen_title() {
echo 'New Tab Title';
}
function my_new_group_show_screen_content() {
echo 'New tab page content';
}
I can call a custom template for my custom page like so:
function my_new_group_show_screen_content() {
echo bp_buffer_template_part( 'groups/group-custom', null, false );
}
Then, just for testing, on that template, I record a visit to that page as an activity, like so:
$defaults = array(
'user_id' => '1',
'action' => 'A user just visited the custom page.',
'content' => 'It was considered a good time.',
'primary_link' => '',
'component' => 'groups',
'type' => 'naming',
'item_id' => $bp->groups->current_group->id,
'secondary_item_id' => get_current_user_id(),
'recorded_time' => gmdate( "Y-m-d H:i:s" ),
'hide_sitewide' => '0'
);
extract( $defaults );
$r = bp_activity_add( array( 'user_id' => $user_id, 'action' => $action, 'content' => $content, 'primary_link' => $primary_link, 'component' => $component, 'type' => $type, 'item_id' => $item_id, 'secondary_item_id' => $secondary_item_id, 'recorded_time' => $recorded_time, 'hide_sitewide' => $hide_sitewide ) );
So, I could now allow for the creation of instances of my_cpt on this custom page. When adding this instance to the WP database, I also store the group for which it was created. Then, on this custom page, I could show a list of all instances created for this group.
And, when this instance has been created, I can save an activity connected to this group.
Thank you for this idea.
Actually my issue is slightly different.
How can I attach an existing SWA activity post to a group. The SWA activity post was not initially attached to a group. Once attached, when users go to the group, they should be able to see the post as part of the group activity posts. Any idea how to do this ?
